Quilt retreat, the illustrated version

Nobody that's not a quilter (or otherwise an artist/crafter type) seems quite to get the concept of the quilt retreat. Maybe it's because it gets conflated in people's heads with a religious retreat, which it is not. Actually, we hold our retreats in special retreat facilities, and they are in fact religiously-affiliated. (This one, where we have the spring retreat, is Catholic; the other one in the fall seems to be run by Protestants of indeterminate denomination. It may be that they are deliberately vague on that point.) The sum total of the way they impose their religions on us is that they require us to have a morning devotional. Attendance is not required, and since I do good to get up for breakfast, much less earlier, I have never actually heard what they say at these devotionals. That is a level of religion I can deal with.

OK, so what do we do?
